…Marketers applaud initiative as refinery absorbs logistics costs to lower distribution expenses

By Udeme Akpan

Dangote Petroleum Refinery & Petrochemicals has expanded its free petroleum product delivery initiative to Kano, Imo, Anambra and Nasarawa States, a move expected to reduce distribution costs for independent petroleum marketers and create room for lower petrol prices.

The initiative, which initially covered Lagos, Ogun, Rivers, Kaduna, Abuja and Delta, is designed to take petroleum products closer to marketers and retailers while eliminating the cost of transporting products over long distances from the refinery.
